Slurry Pump Types

Slurry pump is a kind of centrifugal pump. In concept, slurry pump refers to a kind of machinery which increases the energy of solid-liquid mixed medium by virtue of the centrifugal force, and converts the electric energy into the kinetic energy and potential energy of the medium.

In the market, there are many types and models of slurry pumps. Different types of slurry pumps are widely used for slurry transportation in metallurgical concentrators, hydraulic ash removal in thermal power plants, coal slurry and heavy medium transportation in coal washing plants, slurry lifting in sand washing plants, river dredging, etc.

There are 4 main types of slurry pumps:

Horizontal Slurry Pump

When the position of the pump shaft is parallel to the horizontal plane, it is called Horizontal Slurry Pump. The horizontal slurry pump is a single-stage single-suction axial suction cantilever horizontal centrifugal pump with high-strength and wear-resistant materials for the over-flow parts. according to the different suction media, the filter components of various materials can be exchanged.

Horizontal slurry pump is suitable for conveying strong abrasion, high concentration, corrosive large or fine particle slurry, this series of slurry pump can be widely used in metallurgy, mining, electric power, coal mine and other industries to transport abrasive slurry containing a large number of solid materials.

Vertical Slurry Pump

When the position of the pump shaft is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, it is called a Vertical Slurry Pump. Generally, the vertical slurry pump is used in the slurry pool to pump the slurry, and the pump head should be placed below the liquid level, so it is also called the Submerged Slurry Pump, but not all the whole pumps are submerged into the water. if the motor and other non-pump head components are also put into the slurry, the pump is called Submersible Slurry Pump.

Vertical slurry pump is mainly suitable for conveying corrosive, coarse particles and high concentration slurry.

Submerged Slurry Pump

The Submerged Slurry Pump is a vertical single-stage single-suction cantilever centrifugal pump, the impeller is a semi-open impeller, and a mixing blade is arranged at the suction edge extension of the impeller.

The main features of the submerged slurry pump are that the length of the pump shaft in the submerged part is between 800-2000mm, there is no bearing between the impeller and the pump shell, the driving unit is installed on the motor support and support seat by the vertical motor, and the coupling is used to connect with the pump.

Submerged slurry pump is mainly used in municipal engineering, paper mills, cement plants, printing and dyeing plants and other industries to pump slurry, quicksand, sludge and other fluids.

Submersible Slurry Pump

Submersible Slurry Pump is the coaxial integration of the pump and the motor, and the motor submerges into the slurry. There is no need to build complex fixtures and protective measures on the ground. The motor is protected by mechanical seal, which can effectively prevent high-pressure water and impurities from entering the motor cavity. The stirring impeller touches the deposition surface directly, and the slurry concentration is controlled by the diving depth, and the slurry automatically pours into the pump to save energy.

Submersible slurry pump is suitable for conveying slurry containing abrasive particles such as sand, cinder, tailings, etc., mainly used in metallurgy, electric power, river dredging, sand extraction, municipal mud process and other industries.
